Chapter 8: The Moon Is Round

Looking at the ruins of the room, I hesitated for a moment, turned around and was about to go out, only to find a person standing behind me!

This person is thin and small, his whole body has been burned black, the facial features on his face are no longer visible, his hair is almost gone, and his bloody scalp is exposed, looking disgusting and disgusting.

A pair of eyes were bulging, the eyelids were burned, the upper and lower mouth skins were also burned in half, and some of the teeth were exposed outside, not very neat.

I lowered my head and met the bulging eyes.

After a while, the half-open mouth spit out these words: "Xiao Song, are you here?" Sit down......"

This is Jiang Fang's voice.

With that, she pulled at her distorted face, smiled stiffly at me, and then slowly turned around and stood up on a stool that had fallen to the ground.

Placed the stool next to me, and she sat down on the bed.

Seeing me standing still, she pointed to the stool, "You, sit." ”

I looked at her, not that I didn't want to sit, but that one leg of the stool had been burned, and I had to fall on it like this.

Jiang Fang, who was unrecognizable, put her hand on the edge of the bed: "My family is in other places, in order to make it convenient for me to see a doctor, the old man rented this house......"

I sighed, and she was continuing to speak, when I heard Lao Zhang's voice coming from behind: "Why did you come in!?" ”

Lao Zhang's voice was very unkind, with a natural resistance, and I looked back to see him standing in the doorway, holding a bowl of things in his hand, still steaming.

The room was in a mess, Lao Zhang didn't seem to have any reflection at all, he walked quickly to Jiang Fangshan's side, put the bowl on the cabinet next to him, and sat on the three-legged stool.

I can see that Lao Zhang is very careful when he sits, probably he is also afraid of falling.

It was a bowl of glass copying hands, which Zhang Tomorrow bought at the snack bar. After Lao Zhang picked it up, he carefully scooped one out with a spoon. The chicken broth was hot, and he blew on his hand and handed it to his wife.

Jiang Fang's mouth was half-open, and there was bloody red flesh hanging from her teeth.

Because half of her lips were missing, after she was fed it by hand, soup immediately flowed out of the corners of her mouth. Seeing this, Lao Zhang quickly took out a tissue and gently wiped it on his wife's face.

His gaze was soft, as if the person sitting in front of him was not a charred human form, but still the old lady with a charitable eyebrow.

"I bought it in the afternoon, I have been in the refrigerator before, I just gave you a hot one, I will rest early after eating, and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow."

Jiang Fang looked very awkward when she laughed, she ate a bowl of hand-copying hands, and she quickly finished it, and she didn't even have a bite of soup left. Lao Zhang was very satisfied when he saw this, and after taking care of Jiang Fang to rest, he glanced at me and motioned for me to go out with him.

Walking down the hallway, I turned on the lights on my phone, and the fire-burned ceiling was hung in mid-air with large sheets. Lao Zhang in front of him strode forward, he could easily walk around every piece of debris on the ground, and it seemed that he was already very familiar with this place.

Walking down the stairs, I saw the door of Li Qiang's house on the first floor open, and when I passed by the door, I deliberately glanced inside, it was dark and there was no one inside, and the burned furniture stood inside, very quiet.

Lao Zhang had already gone out of the door, and I was about to go out with him, when I heard a low sob.

The voice came from the next room, and after a moment of hesitation, I walked in by the light of my phone.

Cowering next to the wardrobe was Mei Mei, she was still so thin, wearing a small white dress, sitting on the ground with her hands on her knees, and burying her head.

"Meimei." I called her.

When she heard someone call her, the girl immediately stopped sobbing, and she looked up, and by the light I could see her face, her face full of tears, and her eyes full of horror.

I asked her, "What about your mother?" ”

She shook her head, and I reached for her. Mei Mei's hands were cold, and she was still trembling slightly when they touched her body.

Just as I was about to say something, all of a sudden, I heard a woman's screams outside. As soon as this voice came out, Mei Mei held her head and screamed, and her body drilled into me one by one.

I soothed her and turned my eyes to look outside.

I was startled by the moonlight coming in through the window, and I saw the man with a scar on his face, Li Qiang, grabbing his bright red hair and constantly slamming against the wall.

Yanhong was praying, but this had no effect at all, Li Qiang was like a demon at the moment, and the cursing voice in his mouth was even more unbearable.

It took a long time before Li Qiang stopped.

The woman fell to the ground almost without a sound, and after spitting at her, Li Qiang walked back to the room.

Mei Mei was nervous, she grabbed my trouser leg, and her body trembled even more.

Seeing me in the house, Li Qiang was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't have any extra reactions, just walked straight to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door, took out something from the drawer inside, put it in his pocket and went out.

It wasn't until there was a "bang" sound of the door closing at the door that the panicked Meimei breathed a sigh of relief.

She hurried to the bright red side and struggled to help her up.

I also walked over, and my face was full of wounds, especially on my forehead, because of the constant impact, a large scar appeared, which was shocking.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and I seemed a little redundant to stand aside.

Seeing them helping each other back to the room, I walked outside the small building.

When I opened the door, I didn't see Li Qiang, I only saw Lao Zhang squatting on the ground, smoking a cigarette, and when he saw me coming out, he raised his hand at me and motioned for me to come over.

Declined the cigarettes handed over by Lao Zhang, and I squatted on the ground with him.

The moon is very round in the sky, and Lao Zhang is smoking a cigarette while looking at the sky.

"My wife has kidney problems, she has to undergo dialysis twice a week, and the medical conditions in her hometown do not allow it, so we came to the provincial capital and rented a house here, which is close to the hospital and convenient for her to see a doctor."

I nodded, there are indeed a lot of cases, this disease cannot be hospitalized, many people can only rent a house near the hospital, there are many reports of this on the news.

Kidney disease is the most expensive disease, it will not die immediately, and it can generally drag on for more than ten years, but in this way, everything in the family will be hollowed out.

"She likes to eat glass, she has to eat a bowl every day, I buy it for her, as long as she's happy, she can do anything. We are married and I don't want to see her suffer. Actually, looking at her uncomfortable appearance, in fact, I wish she would die immediately, although I will hate the pain, but at least she will not suffer again......"

At that moment, there was a birdsong, and I looked up, and the thing was scurrying towards the moon.

Looking down, I suddenly asked him, "Where did you go on the night of the fire?" ”
